Goal action plan
The Nutrition Action Plan proposes broad coverage of the entire Honduran population leaving no-one behind, through a process of the inclusion and organization of different programs with the participation of multiple different bodies (governmental, United Nations, grass-roots organizations, private companies, universities and donors); multiple industries (health, education, agriculture, planning, social protection and others) and at multiple levels (national, regional and local). The Plan is set to address the country's situation with regard to malnutrition across four broad areas: A comprehensive approach to initiatives; the organization of actions across various sectors at national, regional and local levels; encouraging the general public to take part; and the mobilisation of resources and efforts to promote sustainable and inclusive development for Hondurans. The implementation of this plan requires the establishment of the government body responsible for the coordination and implementation of the PANH. This will be the Ministry of Health, and the integration of a National Nutrition Committee from the Inter-Institutional Technical Committee on Food Security and Nutrition-COTISAN. The initiatives and program goals that make up the Plan are organized into five main blocks: a) Institutional and decentralised management for nutrition. b) Special care for infants under 2 years of age, under 5 years of age, pregnant women and breastfeeding babies. c) Nutritional surveillance, d) Food safety. and e) Non-communicable diseases, and the indicators proposed for the fulfilment of the goals and objectives are measurable from national studies: malnourishment; incidence of chronic malnutrition in children under 5 years of age; Overweight and obese women aged 15-49 years; incidence of total anemia in children aged 6-59 months and incidence of anemia in women aged 15-49 years.
